My husband and I had put off going to the dentist for years because we feared the pain that we were…read moreautomatically associating with all dental work. Lucky for us we found Shoal Creek Dental Care! They have made our visits as pain free as they possibly can and we no longer dread making that appointment every 6 months. My first experience with them was a root canal. What a way to test the waters with a new dentist! Growing up I remembered being in pain every time I had to get a cavity filled, so I was expecting the worst when it came to the root canal. Amazingly enough I never felt a thing. Dr. Gaik, and his whole staff, were so kind and super patient with me as I worked through my nervousness. I have since transferred over to seeing the newest dentist at Shoal Creek, Dr. Hlavacek. I can not say enough kind things about her. She is so sweet and incredibly gentle. As I mentioned before I grew up thinking that fillings were supposed to hurt so when she stopped drilling at the first sign of discomfort and apologized for not getting me numb enough the first time I was shocked. If my mouth wasn't already pried open I think my chin would have hit the ground. You mean I'm not supposed to feel anything at all? I wasn't in pain, just slight discomfort and she took care of that! She made sure I was comfortable and very very numb before continuing on. She even personally called me the next day to make sure I was feeling ok. If you have been putting off going to a dentist then I would suggest you call Shoal Creek Dental. Dr. Gaik is very soft spoken and he will make you feel comfortable in his office (as comfortable as can be at the dentist). Dr. Hlavacek is in a class of her own....a class way above any other dentist I have gone to!

After reading Erin L.'s request for a teeth whitening suggestion, I responded with a reply of North…read moreOak Family Dental. Then I thought I should probably review the place because I am really happy with the work they've done for me. This was my reply to her, plus a bit more... "I do not work at a dental office. I first purchased a groupon to North Oak Family Dental Care for zoom whitening. I hadn't had a checkup in a few years so they asked me to have a checkup done before whitening from there or elsewhere. Having moved from California, I did not have an established dentist in KC, so I went to them for my check up and the zoom whitening and I have really had a great experience there. All the ladies in the office are very personable and friendly. Their only drawback is that their office hours are pretty limited. Mon, Wed & Thurs 8-5 and closed on Tues, Fri, Sat, Sun. They have another office, Westwood Dental, which is open Mon-Thurs 7-5, and Fri 9-1. With that being said, I ended up getting a veneer done by them and while I was waiting the two weeks for my permanent to be made, it popped off twice (very common with the type I was having done). Both times, someone came in outside of business hours to rebond it for me at no extra cost and made feel like it was no big deal they came in on their day off I will definitely be going back to them and I now feel great about my smile!." ...I forgot to mention that I went to a lab in KCK to get the color of my teeth matched to create the permanent veneer. I was told this was the best lab in town. At first I was not sure. You go down to a sketchy looking basement to meet with a technician. The facility looks like a high school chemistry lab from the 80's. The woman recorded about 4 different colors she would use to create my porcelain match. She really did do an amazing job! With such a perfect color match, even I forget that I have a veneer.

I was deceived when I made the appointment with a very friendly receptionist who made my appointment- she stated they would try anything to help my daughter through the process of getting her teeth cleaned. My friend even concurred. Upon arrival, the front office was dismissive and unfriendly. The dental hygienist seemed in a hurry and kept dropping equipment. She seemed frazzled and unorganized. She seemed inconvenience. When my 26 year old special needs daughter kept saying ouch I asked if they could get some numbing meds for her gums. She was being rough with her cleaning. She kept looking at the clock too. The hygienist said sure, but brought the dentist back with her. He looked at her teeth, but since her lower lip was tight he stated we had to stop her cleaning and go somewhere else to do her cleaning. They only cleaned 1/4 of her teeth. They admitted she had decay, but did NOTHING about it!!!! When I am upset and crying all the dentist could do was slam a paper down (like a child) and state he is doing the best he can. The front desk person was rude about it - no empathy AT ALL! When leaving saw the dental hygienist run out of the office. I knew they didn't finish the job because the hygienist didn't want to miss lunch! She kept looking at the clock - never felt more dismissed in my life! Never go here - they suck! Zero stars.

In 2007, I was assistant director of sales at the Raphael hotel on the Plaza. It was a strange…read moreposition, and every single one of the managers who'd worked there under a family-owned administration for nearly 30 years hated my stinking guts. When I bit down on a piece of metal that had made its way into my "employee lunch," and cracked a molar in half, I took it as a sign of things to come. A couple of weeks later, I was let go and escorted from the building. I didn't mind that part so much. It made me feel like some kind of super-villain. In the end, though, I still had this busted tooth. Over the course of the next couple of years, the tooth would abscess, get infected, swell, etc... As one of the uninsured millions, I did my best to find antibiotics, pain-meds, and the like the only way I knew how. I even lanced the thing a couple of times on my own. When it acted up most recently, I had finally had enough. You can't make money waiting tables when your entire head is throbbing and you want to attack everything with a pulse that manages to hove into your personal space. Fortune smiled upon me, though, as one of my tables during a lunch shift just happened to be a group of dentists. Not only were they a great group of people (service industry approved, that is,) they made conversation with me. When my tooth pain inevitably came up, they dispatched with the embarrassment I felt from being uninsured and poor in about thirty seconds and invited me to have it looked at in their office. The Northland Family Dentistry group operates out of an unassuming office in a strip mall just off North Oak Trafficway. It's an old-fashioned place. No computer screens around the place. No mouth cameras. Just a dentist chair and some confident, friendly, and funny workers who do their job quickly and capably. Within a week of my first visit, my mouth was examined, x-rays were taken, and operated on. The tooth pain is finally gone, and at a price I could afford. I'm a little ashamed I waited so long to get it handled, but like a lot of you, I'd rather deal with the pain than put myself in a dentist's chair. These guys made it really easy on me, and fixed my problems just as they'd promised. I could not have been more satisfied with my experience. I now pass this information on to you so that, you, the poor and pained, can find some relief. Good luck!

Dr. Lowe, I really…read moreappreciated the experience I had at your office yesterday, thank you again for your skill and the talent you and your staff exhibited yesterday. This was my first experience having a tooth removed by you and I was extremely impressed by your staff (front office), your nurse and ultimately yourself who took the time and effort to get my tooth deadened though I believe it was not an easy chore before removing the tooth. You seemed very skilled at properly deadening the gums by using a topical deadening compound along with a syringe before performing the tooth removal and I felt you did everything you could to minimize any difficulties for me as a patient. You did such an excellent job at administering the deadening medicine by syringe it was hardly noticeable. "Thank you" for explaining where my extracted tooth was located tended to often develop a "dry socket" but what has been impressive to me was the skill and talent you used to remove the tooth and now the following day, I feel where my tooth was removed is in the process of healing hopefully without the "dry socket" possibility. I know it may take a day or two before determining whether or not a "dry socket" is a possibility but I'm impressed by your dental physician's skill and the fact you told me to come back if I started to experience the symptoms of this condition and you would be able to help alleviate the problem. I would recommend you to anyone that needs to have a tooth removed because of your skill, talent and your staff seem very concerned for their patients. It is physicians and nurses like your staff that all patients want! Thank you very much! Sincerely, John V. Anderson, NCARB, AIA
